Leaps and Bounds

He's done with the crawling thing.

I was talking to them about using the restroom instead of diapers and they decided to distract me with this story about the moose on Maren's shirt.

Walking!

It is incredible to watch Evren improve his walking skills everyday. He is able to take 8-10 consecutive steps at this point. He can squat and grab a toy and stand back up as you can see in this video. 

Thanksgiving

 For once I have too many pictures to chose from thanks to 

cousin Aubrey who came to visit for Thanksgiving!

 The girls thoroughly enjoyed picking up leaves, they were a big help.

  

As was the rest of the family! Beware if you come to visit, you may be put to work :) 

 Mowing is serious business

 The whole family. We enjoyed our short time with them!

 Aubrey, Andan and their grandparents 

 Evren is 9 months old now, has 6 teeth, wears size 18 month clothes, and is about to start walking. He can take 4 steps in a row at this point.

 "I'm a happy to see you"

 They love him until it hurts....him.

 Evren and I went to Minnesota for a short visit. Cousin Katelyn was there and aunt Jane. 

 Evren's first time in the snow started out well, 

but didn't last long as you can see he was only wearing socks. 

Cousins Hannah and Eric. 

Cousins Emmy and Josie 

It was great to see the whole family!

Great Aunt Patty
